Default removing governor

is removing the governor hard?

Does anyone have a diy on how to do it, or should i just bring it to a shop?

governs at 165kms but with an edge you can set the governor and rev limiter to a diff speed. Ive got a supercrew fx4 and its a little un-nerving at 220 so the governor is back to where it was. I dont know what other chips do it but the Edge does give you control of it.

Most of the tuners will remove the speed limiter....and with these you have to be careful. Before I had the new tires put on I had mine over 140 once passin a cheby diesel that thought he was hot ...which was entirely stupid since the tires, u joints, etc are rated for anything close to that.

But the look on his face was priceless

Just FYI...I was about to buy a new F150 Ecoboost. I was test driving it and noticed it would not accelerate faster than 95mph. It is a control mechanism implemented through the EPA I was told, and that modifying it is traceable and would void all warranties. I personally think this is BS. I told my Ford salesman no thanks!! I do not need bureaucratic legislation dictating for me what I do with my property. The speedometer goes up to 120, I should be able to go 120!!!
